I'd really like to get HDMI out on CM7.1 running on my GalaxyS2 I777. I have absolutely zero programming chops. But what I do have, is the willingness to drop some cash on a couple MHL HDMI cables. Obviously, I'd only purchase this for kernel/Cyanogenmod developers. Unless they want me to simply make a donation, but I'd really like to get this working on this phone. I know it's not a simple process, but I'd like to get the tools in the hands of the devs. So is this a bad idea or a good idea?
I love the idea of HDMI out in CM7, but it seems we are beholden to what the Int. does. If the CM7 developers who were given an Int. version by Samsung can't figure it out....
I would love to have it on my GS II.
But remember it will need to be charged at the same time otherwise the battery will drain soon.
So Microusb HDMI out and charging at the same time? Sound a bit hard to do.

The MHL adapters have a micro SD port on them so you can connect your charger (I think you HAVE TO have the charger.connected for it to work anyways).
I too would love to see this work and am surprised the international SGS2 would have it already also.

I forgot that Samsung gave them an I-9100 to play with. Well, I guess if they already have that, I guess they have the MHL-HDMI adapters. I tried to help :-( I guess it's time to donate...

I don't think tv out works yet in either though (i9100 or for sure not the i777). I would love for them to get it working, about the only thing missing IMHO.

Wait...you can't do HDMI on CM7?
Nope. Kind of a bummer, and I'm not in any way complaining. I love my CM7'd I777 (lot's of 7's). I'm just trying to make to device even better. But I guess the only thing we can do is donate. Come Thursday (my actual payday) I'll be throwing some money their way. They do a damned fine job.
As long as this works with the International Version, I'll donate. Put me down for 10

I want to play Power Point presentation using my Qtek 9100 on video projector ...
Does anybody know is there a way to do that ? Maybe using some accessory or bluetooth connection if present on projector?
Thanks
You can't
No I am afraid you can't do that.... they haven't given that possibility I really wonder why. When one pays so much this is the one thing that is really missing. A direct TV out.

SOTI pocket controller
You can do this from the PDA via a PC hooked to the projector using Soft Object Technology's Pocket Controller. I bought it originally for my Wallaby, recently got a Wizard and am using it there now. Nifty application, you can do everything with the desktop image that you can do with the touchscreen, and I think it lets you record a movie of you doing stuff on the PDA.
More info here: http://www.soti.net/
Well worth the registration cost IMO

That's prety cool I'd get one to try but I keep my presentations on the SD card... LOL kinda hard to show the presentation if I have to take it out...heh. Currently I just transfer the presentation to someone's laptop and use theirs. Kinda "old tech" and not "high tech".

this looks like what you need
hmmmm... would this do the trick???

Maybe, why not... I am sure it would be more than 10 $!
I see that SpecTec has upgraded to 1024x768. Any other newer options out there?? Thanks!
BT?
I remember seeing that a projector supported bluetooth to transfer images. Wouldn't it be a solution for that, meaning you buy a bluetooth adaptor to hook to your projector and use the internal bluetooth to transmit your presentation? This way the SD port would remain available for the SD memory cards with the presentation.
If one finds it, please share...

I really wondering what you are 'lolz'-ing at. I'm not sure if you are ignorant or the Pakistan people (who sell the cords) are ignorant. As I have said a million time in this forum, getting the cable (cord) into a socket doesn't mean it works. You can connect a USB to 240V socket, doesn't mean you can charge your unit directly onto the phone (kids, dont try this at home).
How much do you understand about the USB connection, and the video connection (the yellow thing you've mentioned). Not to mentioned that one runs on digital and one runs on analog signal (at a different frequency), they probably runs at a different voltage anyway. And also, the fact that, a Wizard phone doens't have USB host to it, it wont do the job in the way you've mentioned.

Won't Work
Sorry to tell you. So far as I can tell it doesn't work on the dream. I did the same thing. Same site. One hit I had off a www google search said it worked on 1.5, but after 1.6, it no longer worked. I ended up using this. Jabra BT3030 It works great. With a little bit of hacking you can get this BT Necklace

Got the same one for my Tattoo (click) and it's not recognized, is there no way to make it work, like some driver or anything?
I can confirm that the splitter which can teh man linked, the YC A300, does work on my G1 running BiffMod 2.0
This makes me suspect that the relevant driver is either in Cyanogen Mod 6, or the Pershoot kernel which BiffMod uses. I haven't tried to break it by flashing another kernel. I do hope this at least gives you a starting point.

i have an adapter but not exaclty this one..
if its not working you can try an app called "sound route switcher" or sth similiar.
it forces your phone audio output through your desired channel. so i got mine to work on donut (before it was patched on a cm)
but my adapter uses more battery than being connected to my bluetooth headphones >.<

Thanks, I found this post useful.
A quick search on eBay revealed many of these for five bucks.
I was looking for an adapter that would let me charge and use the headphone port at the same time.
I don't know why they couldn't just put the d**n headphone port on the phone itself. I guess it would have cost them an additional 35 cents per unit. I hate the "break this port and you're screwed" paradigm.
on another phone especially the galaxy sII? wondering it would on another device.
It has a proprietary connector so no.
the mhl dongle? it can be had, but i don't it is available commercially in the us. happen to know if any non motorola phones with hdmi out has tried webtop?
http://motorola-global-eng.custhelp.com/rnt/rnw/img/enduser/oly_supdock_front_m.jpg
You have to connect both connectors at the same time. And if I read correctly, one of the two is a proprietary connector by Motorola.
no. i have the atrix. it's just micro hdmi and micro usb. the galaxy has mhl connection which can be used for hdmi out i believe. it's just hard getting mhl because hardly anything is using it right now.
Samsung provides an microUSB to HDMI cable. But then again, you can't connect both at the same time.
And I think the Atrix has some specific drivers (and a lot of modified Android OS files) too. While they can be dumped, you'd need to adapt them on a GSII ROM. And since it's quite useless, nobody will dive into this huge reverse engineering work.
Definately a no-go.
well some of the atrix webtop files have been pulled and that is part of what i was wondering if anybody has tried to do a quick zip with them and seen what happens. i'm pretty sure it isn't that simple because as you've said, probably custom files from motorola. to some peeps it might be worth it to be able to use webttop/lapdock but who knows how deep you gotta dig in. i don't have the skills for it and am not requesting it either. some phones have been able to boot into other os'es and such so this task isn't unsurmountable.
While it isn't surmontable, it would be pretty hard (not only there's some files related to the webtop (libs and such), but there's also a completely changed Android framework). So it would be a pain in the ass to adapt this with Samsung files.
And since there maximum 5 guys in the world who have both a motorola webtop and a Galaxy S II, there's not a lot of chances to have it working.
And again, there are not the right connectors. Even if the software is adapted, there's still the hardware issue.
Well thanks for all the answers. I was more curious about if other android users were curious about webtop and galaxy sii was a good forum to ask because it's a powerful phone and popular. I got the lapdock and it's pretty good for light duty utilization. And easier on the eyes. Thanks for your answers again.
I voided my warranty.
Ok i havent gotten my samsung galaxy player 5.0 yet but i am working on it i ran across these 2 amazing accessories. And i was wondering has anyone else tried this on there device. Let me know any info you may have
HDMI HHL Adapter
http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt...Sensation/dp/B005F9W6DU/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_img_b
OTG Cable
http://www.amazon.com/T-Flash-Adapter-Samsung-GT-i9100-GT-N7000/dp/B005FUNYSA/ref=pd_cp_e_1
As for the HDMI,
The Samsung galaxy player, dose not support tv out
No OTG support (yet). They recently ported it to the galaxy s, we might be able to get it to work at least on the 4.0, witch is pretty much identical from what I have seen. So far I have confirmed their partitions are mounted identically, they have the same CPU, and I think they might even have the same motherboard (both of them have "ro.board.platform=s5pc110" in build.prop, not sure if that is the MB or not). The 5.0 is a totally different story though...
OP, you should go for the korean version if you want the HDMI output.
This version also supports 1080p (the device is also in english), has 16 or 32gb, and I found something very amusing : the korean version is made in Korea, whereas all the other versions are made in China. I guess koreans only buy korean products, haha! But I couldn't tell if it's any better...
MHL is definitely not present in the 5.0 - I tried the adapter that came with my Infuse.
There's a chance it might support analog TVout via the headphone jack, but this is unknown and no one has tried it yet.

Hey entropy512, would you be willing to edit the settings.apk for the 4.0 U.S. version if I sent it to you, then someone with the right cable could see if the tvout works?
I have a TV out cable from my ipod 5g, if someone needs testing, i'm game
When I plug the cable into my headphone port, no picture shows up, however the audio dose not switch to headphones, it keeps playing through the speakers, so that must mean something...

Yep, it means that your headphone jack detector works.
Dang, I'm almost sure this has video out, at least the 4.0 since I think it even has the same MB as the gt-i9000! I sure wish I could smai edit the settings.apk so that the option would show up, but I've been looking for a good guide on doing so and have yet to find one. I havn't had time to just learn smali as I have school, so unless there is someone out there with a 4.0 (possibly 5.0 has TV out as well, but less likely) that knows how to smali edit, we're stuck.
If you want tvout settings to appear then all you should need to do is get a settings.apk from a gt-i9000 and load it. Make sure it is the same framework as the one that you are running eg. 2.3.5. The setting will show up but I have found that just having the setting there does nothing if the functionality is not there...
Let me know how it goes...
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Well, I asked for the apk two days ago on the gt-i9000 forum but no one ever responded. Guess I'll go bump the thread! I guess those galaxy s owners are to busy to help a poor galaxy player owner, lol!
FYI, You don't need to ask, all you need to do is download a full rom for gt-i9000 and pull the settings.apk out.
You can use "kitchen" to do this if it's an odin flash, if it's a CWM zip then just open this zip and extract it out...
Ya, I thought of that, my internet is really slow though, guess I'll start it and it will be done by tonight.
Well, I tried the settings.apk, but it fc when I select display, or any other menu. Any suggestions? I guess the real way to do it would be to smali edit the original, but I have no idea how to do so.
Well, I have a 5.0 and not a 4.0 and I'm using 2.3.6. In the 5.0, settings for tvout are not there. It's just not in the code. If I were you, I would use adb logcat to get the exception info to find out why the settings.apk is fc and go from there....
Eh, I think I might call it quits for now. I've got a busy month, so if someone wants to pick up where I left off, here is the apk someone gave me.

Why doesn't OTG work on the galaxy players? I thought it was standard in all android devices?

There is a small chance it supports TV out via the 3.5mm jack. Someone needs to test it with a correct cable first, to confirm or deny.

Hi,
Im thinking of using my S2 as a media streamer now I have the S3. Initial tests have been mixed, with the best performance coming from BubbleUPnP and MX Player, Does anyone have any hints and tips that might improve things. Also is there a good, Android to Android remote app? As would be nice to be able to control it remotely.
Any hints or tips would be great.
Thanks.
Sell it and get a proper dedicated device.
Lol, the idea is to keep it as a backup. I'm trying to make the most of it and not just hide it in cupboard.

Well, you're asking how to best pound a square peg into a round hole... but anyways; if you want it to perform its best as a "media streamer", I'd say factory reset/full wipe it, debloat it as much as you can, only install the bare minimum of what you want on it.
As far as remote controlling: http://www.google.com/search?q=control+another+android+device
Thanks for the advice. I know Ill probably end up copying large mkv files rather than streaming them. The mhl cable wont work with the S3 and rather than bin them Im hoping my square peg can fit a hole like this.

Why won't the mhl cable work with the s3? Isn't the s3 an mhl device?
